What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I'm just a regular middle class family man. I'm running because I’m tired of a corrupt and unaccountable government taxing and spending us into bankruptcy. I'm tired of the erosion of our freedoms. And I'm tired of the rules not applying to them. My legislative priorities include a 10% flat tax, term limits, accountability and transparency in government, border security, and decoupling our strategic industries from China. I will base all legislative activities in accordance with the constitution. I am a huge believer in individual freedom and want to get the government out of the daily lives of the people. I am for medical freedom and parental rights. I wants to see America be energy independent again. We cannot rely on other countries for to meet our energy needs. I am all for new sources of energy but not at the expense of the economy. We can and will transition to new energy sources when the technology make it feasible, but we can't flip a switch and kill the economy. I fully support school choice and having the money follow the student. There are so many more important issues, however if we can’t get the biggest problems resolved soon, none of the rest are going to matter. Let’s work to save America so we can have those other debates. Most importantly remember that just because someone disagrees with you, doesn’t mean they are the enemy. In the end we all want a beautiful and prosperous nation we can leave to the next generation.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people. We need more funding for mental and to take that issue seriously. We need to remove the Obama era policy of not bringing in law enforcement to deal with violent students. Many of the recent shooters would not have been to legally purchase a gun if they had a prior record. I would not support any legislation that violates the rights of lawful citizens to keep and carry guns.
